Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
– runs over Layer 2 (data link layer)
– used by all Cisco devices
– sends periodic messages to a multicast address
– advertises at least one IP address that can receive SNMP messages
– advertisements contain time-to-live or holddown information
Default CDP Configuration
– CDP global state: enabled
– CDP interface state: enabled
– CDP timer: 60 seconds
– CDP holdtime: 180 seconds
– CDP Version-2 advertisements: enabled

show cdp
To disable CDP globally:
conf t
no cdp run
To disable CDP on an interface:
conf t
int fa0/1
no cdp enable
Monitoring CDP
clear cdp counters
clear cdp table
show cdp
show cdp entry
show cdp int fa0/1
show cdp neighbors
show cdp neighbors fa0/1 detail
show cdp traffic
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
– supports non-Cisco devices and allow interoperability between those devices
– neighbor discovery protocol
– runs over the data link layer
– LLDP attributes are called TLVs (type, length, value descriptions)
Basic management TLVs:
– Port description TLV
– System name TLV
– System description TLV
– System capabilities TLV
– Management address TLV
Default LLDP Configuration
– LLDP global state: disabled
– LLDP holdtime: 120 seconds
– LLDP timer: 30 seconds
– LLDP reinitialization delay: 2 seconds
– LLDP tlv-select: disabled to send an receive all TLVs
– LLDP interface state: disabled
– LLDP receive: disabled
– LLDP transmit: disabled
– LLDP med-tlv-select: disabled to send all LLDP-MED TLVs
If the interface is configured as a tunnel port, LLDP is automatically disabled

LLDP Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED)
– Extension to LLDP that operates between endpoint devices such as IP Phones
– Provides support for VOIP applications
Additional LLDP-MED TLVs:
– Port VLAN ID TLV
– MAC / PHY configuration / status TLV
– LLDP-MED capabilities TLV
– Network policy TLV
– Power management TLV
– Inventory management TLV
– Location TLV
